1920's Fern Print Dress

Here is a new dress I managed to finish sewing recently! I really wanted something tropical and sheer for summer and found this great print at Colorado Fabrics! I used my 1920's basic dress pattern with a square skirt. It doesn't look particularly 20's in these photos with my hair pulled back and rather modern sandals but I hope it will look more vintage when styled differently. This dress is one of three chiffon 20's/30's styles I have sewn up lately so I look forward to showing you the two others soon. My dad and I walked around the Denver Botanic Gardens again for these photos as they were having their spring plant sale. He got a few plants for our garden and I got nice photo backdrops!

Hello there! I'm Bianca and here on The Closet Historian I study and recreate vintage fashions-- sketching, pattern drafting, and sewing my way to a vintage inspired wardrobe. I also occasionally attempt knitting, travel as far and wide as I can, and make videos over on YouTube, all while writing a novel on the side.
